Abstract

Studies on compatibility of carbosulfan with fungicide/insecticide/micronutrient under laboratory condition (physical test) indicated that all the agro-chemicals tested viz., carbosulfan 25 EC (250g a.i. ha−1), methyl-o-demeton 25 EC (250g a.i. ha−1), carbendazim 50 WP (500g a.i. ha−1) and magnesium sulphate (5.0 per cent) maintained stability in solution independently and in combination. Further, the absence of phytotoxic symptoms on cotton under field conditions confirmed the biological compatibility of carbosulfan.
